Access Control

Imagine you are running a company with many staff members who all have specific deadline driven tasks to preform daily. Perhaps you do have a company such as this one. Imagine your company has more than one entrance and your company is not exactly catering to the general public. Our society has become more and more security conscious and the need for systems to provide protection to our homes and businesses has become a priority. At Mbombela Security Services, access control is one of our specialty services.

Access control limits the chance of your business being robbed. Having an access control system set up means you have full control over who enters your business, so you can first find out why a person wants to enter your establishment before you let them in.

Access control is the perfect system for large companies with many employees. Limiting their access to certain parts of the building and creating areas which will provide them with all of the necessities they need in order to complete their tasks, will improve their productivity. There will be no more aimless wondering around and getting lost in departments they are not supposed to be in. Access control limits the distractions that staff are likely to experience on a daily basis.

No need to replace lost or stolen keys or change the locks

Each time you lose a key or a key is stolen, you have to call out a locksmith to put new locks on all of your businesses doors. This will cost you money each time and it is an unnecessary waste of your time. With Access Control systems you can remove access to a lost or stolen card by deactivating it.

Keep record of the amount of times a door opens

This means extra security because if something goes missing from a specific room at a specific time, you will be able to trace who it was that opened the door.

Restrict access down to the minute

If you have flexible staff that does not need to be there at certain times of the day, you can restrict their access to the exact time of day they need to be there. This means that they will not have access at any other time of the day.

Have remote access control

Have control over all of your businesses entry points even when you are not close by. Should you need to lock or open all of the access points you will be able to do this via remote access.

Have secured doors and windows

Robbers will try to cut the gates and proofing or undo the fittings.

Man’s best friend

Having a dog is more than having a best friend.  A dogs bark will scare off most would be intruders, not because they are afraid of the bite but because they know that the noise will alert the home owner and a robber will not take such a risk.

Use your home security systems optimally

You have been warned

Let people know that you have a vicious armed response unit, or an even more vicious dog, waiting should they attempt to break in. A would be thief is less likely to break in if he or she knows that your house is defended.

Trim it

Overgrown gardens make for a nice place for intruders to hide out while they wait for you to come home or go to bed. Even shrubs next to your gate or under your window provide the perfect waiting place. Keep your garden neat to dissuade an intruder from trying to hide.

Anybody home?

Intruders take chances when they think that your house is empty, when they think no one is home. Whether you are having a night on the town or you have gone away on holiday, try to make it seem as though someone is home. Leave a light on if you are going to be out late or maybe leave a radio on as well. If you are going away for a holiday get someone to house sit or arrange for a friend or relative to visit your house on a daily basis.

The festive season is a when crime reaches a peak and Mbombela Security Services wants your home and family to be kept safe. Contact Mbombela Security Services for your alarm, CCTV and other security solutions.

Importance of CCTV in business

You’ve seen them in most places. They sit high up in corners and at office entrances. Some of them move while others just sit unblinkingly and watch. No, Big Brother isn’t watching you; it’s actually a high tech advancement that is keeping you and the business you are in safe. CCTV or closed circuit television is possibly the most popular and most commonly used crime deterrent in modern security technology. These days it is very uncommon that you will find a place that hasn’t got a CCTV system in place.

Many of us take the presence and very existence of CCTV for granted. How many of us know the history behind why they were created? How many of us know the various reasons why it is beneficial for a company, or even a private residence, to have a CCTV system.

The earliest mention of CCTV was recorded in 1942 in Germany. Designed by an engineer by the name of Walter Bruch it was set up to monitor rockets. By 1949 the CCTV was being used commercially however it could not be used to record events, it could only be used for live viewing. After the development of video cassette recordings or VCRs, the CCTV underwent further development and was now able to record the images it saw. This is the very brief beginnings of what most businesses today rely on to protect their merchandise, data and cash.

So why is CCTV so important? Here are 5 reasons why all business should have CCTV.

Deter criminals

CCTV is one of the best ways to deter would be vandals, robbers and other criminals. When they spot a CCTV camera they know that they will have little chance of getting away with the crime they would like to commit. As these days CCTV cameras record all of the things within its view range, CCTV would be able to capture the face of the criminal, or at least some features, and the recording would not only be used to capture the perpetrator, it would also be used in a court of law to help convict the said criminal. Although your company may employ security guards to watch over your premises they are not able to watch over every corner and this is where CCTV becomes invaluable.

 

CCTV is inexpensive and uncomplicated

With the constant technological advancement of CCTV the prices of the products gradually dropped. These days there is a CCTV solution available for all business budgets and all business needs. After you have purchased a CCTV system there is no need for you to break into a cold sweat about how you are going to figure this technology out. Most CCTV providers send out technicians to both install the system and teach you how to use it.

CCTV sees everything its meant to see

Basically CCTV is impervious to penetration. This means that the system is set up in such a way that all spots in and around your business and property are covered. Each camera will cover the blind spots of the next camera. So no thief will be able to sneak past a camera, even if it is dark.

Remote surveillance

CCTV provides high resolution coverage of what is going on within your business. Although some employees may feel like they have permanent eyes on the back of their necks or that Big Brother is keeping an eye on them, this is not technically the case. Having remote surveillance increases the productivity of your workforce and it provides protection for your staff. If there is a danger such as a robbery in progress, you will be able to alert your staff and get them to safety as well as have evidence of the robbery.

It is indispensable

Having CCTV is simply the one security solution that every business should have. Each and every business has something valuable within its premises or within its building. Whether it is data, cash or valuable computer systems, CCTV can protect all areas of a business at all times. Should cash or merchandise go missing, CCTV can always be checked to see where the valuables have gone.

To have an all-round system to watch over your business at all times, you should invest in a CCTV system as soon as possible. At Mbombela Security, in Nelspruit, we can provide you with the best and most up to date CCTV technology and systems.
